    It was built as a tourist attraction -- it never was a Texaco Service Station, it's also a site some of some controversy -- but it's a quiet little war. It's located adjacent to one of the richest gold mining districts in the West.

    Default Mt Sheep/Goat!

    Wow!

    What a great photo -- I hope you tipped the animal wrangler for arranging that perfect shot!

    Thank you.
    Took that picture last week at Mt. Evans. They do know how to pose.

    Default It's thin up there...

    I remember my one drive up Mt. Evans; started in Denver and drove straight up... 9,000' elevation gain in a matter of hours.

    Parked, opened the door, popped out of the car and almost face-planted in the parking lot. After some heavy breathing I was able to enjoy the view.

    Great photo (and good looking goat)!

    The narrow but paved road without striping was the giveaway.

    Back to the non-Texaco-station... that is one odd-shaped building, I assume the shape is somehow significant?

    I like the photo, but I'm going to have to identify it now, because the shape of the building has got to mostly be a fantasy in the minds of the builders. This was built as a tourist attraction on the Techatticup Millsite property owned by Tony and Bobbie Werly -- More information here.

    Nelson ? Techatticup Mine and the Eldorado City Mining Camp area.

    A guy called Mark Sedenquist wrote an article on the area ;-)

    Default Yes, but is this real?

    Southwest Dave, yep I think I must have written about that....

    Now, the real question is... is this thing real? And if it is, where would you go to see it?

    Default Fishing....

    The mining shack in Eldorado Canyon is very photogenic - but didn’t get where it is though.

    What is this photo about! Watch towers come to mind. The main tower is not electrical but serves some other purpose. The fan at the top could operate a siren.

    On the right path or not?
